The Road to Quorlds Starts Here

Quarriors might be a fun game that doesn’t take too long to play, but if you’ve been playing it for a while then you might wish for some new creatures. Well, Wizkids not only has a new expansion coming, but they also have announced a tournament at this year’s GenCon.

WizKids Games is proud to announce the addition of the popular Quarriors! dice-building game as a new event format in the WizKids Event System (WES). Stores may now host Quarriors Game Nights for both casual play and for organizing their own Quarriors tournaments. Retailers— schedule events and encourage Quarriors players to meet at your store for some dice-rolling fun! Players— encourage your local store to register in the WES and schedule Quarriors game nights!

Speaking of tournaments… at Gen Con 2012, one high roller will be crowned in all their Glory as the first ever Quarriors! Quorld Champion at our premiere Quorld Championship Tournament. Players will have the opportunity to qualify for the tournament at Gen Con and also through local Quorlds Qualifier Tournaments scheduled through the WES. Stores wishing to run a Quorlds Qualifier are required to purchase a minimum of one (1) copy of the upcoming Quarriors! expansion set Quarmageddon and register their store (if not already registered) in the WES. As a promotion for the release of the Quarmageddon expansion set, WizKids Games is offering stores a release day Promo card with each copy of Quarmageddon they purchase. Retailers who purchase a case of Quarmageddon (6 expansion sets per case) will receive an additional 4 Promo cards (for a total of 10 Promo cards) to use as prize support for their Quorld Qualifier tournaments or other in-store play. Retailers— please speak with your distributor for availability and pricing (offer available while supplies last). Quorlds Qualifier tournaments can be scheduled from the release of the Quarmageddon expansion set on June 6 through July 15. Winners of local Quorld Qualifier events will be given seating in an advanced round of the Quorld Championship Tournament (players are responsible for providing their own travel, accommodations and registration to Gen Con).

If you haven’t played this yet, then I highly recommend getting a look at it. Just about everyone I’ve played it with enjoys it, gamer or non.

While his love of video games started with the Telestar Alpha (a pong console with four different games), he trule started playing video games when he received the ill-fated TI-99/4A. While the Speech Synthesizer seemed to be the height of gaming, eventually a 286 AT computer running at 8/12 Hz and a CGA monitor would be his outlet for a while. Eventually he’d graduate to 386, 486, Pentium, and Athlon systems, building some of those systems while doing some hardware reviews and attending Comdex. With the release of the Dreamcast that started his conversion to the console world. Since then he has acquired an NES, SNES, PS2, PS3, PSP, GBA-SP, DS, Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One S, Gamecube, Wii, Switch, and Oculus Quest 2. While not playing video games he enjoys bowling, reading, playing board games, listening to music, and watching movies and TV. He originally hails from Wisconsin but is now living in Michigan with his wife and sons.
